Mike & Molly is a love story about two ordinary yet extraordinary people, Mike (Billy Gardelll), an affable police officer, and Molly (Melissa McCarthy), a smart and cheerful teacher, who have always protected themselves and relied on their ability to laugh through life. With each other's support and the help of the Overeaters Anonymous meeting where they met, Mike and Molly learn to open up and trust one another. But falling in love is no easy task, especially when surrounded by friends and family who are just a little too close – and a little too opinionated.
